Someone had to do it!
So you don't believe you are casting stones when you accuse people of living sinful lives and casting stones?
Less disgusting than Lena Dunham isn’t exactly good tombstone material.
“Up to 90% of these pubescent offenders grow out of it and have no lasting life consequences.”
Can you cite data that would prove that up to 90% of adolescent offenders grow out of it?
And what about the victims? Do 90% of the victims of child molestation grow out of it?
I think a 15 year old molesting a 5 year old is a tad worse than a 7 year old looking at a 2 year old, but both are evidence of severe parental neglect.
These weren’t ‘sealed juvenille records’. It was a police report.
The police report was NOT sealed because the statute of limitations had expired. It was never prosecuted as a crime. It was therefore never sealed by a judge.
“The police report was NOT sealed because the statute of limitations had expired. It was never prosecuted as a crime. It was therefore never sealed by a judge.”
OK, point taken. Does that mean you believe the release of this report to the media was appropriate?
If you think it’s bad now, just wait until the other shoes start hitting the floor.
There is much more to this story.
It was entirely appropriate. FOIA submitted and responded to.
“And does lumping the then-teenage Josh Duggar with adults who spend decades stalking and abusing children, and are unremorseful, really make sense?”
When, precisely, do you think the adult stalkers begin their behavior?
What’s disturbing is that even AFTER he was confronted (he only confessed when confronted, never on his own), he continued and even escalated the behavior from sleeping siblings near his own age to fingering the FIVE year old in front of other children while she was awake.
And, reading the only statement by Josh thus far, I see little remorse for any impact on his victims, merely thankfulness he didn’t continue the behavior and ruin his OWN life.
Look at this as universal disgust that cuts across party lines. This is not a left vs right issue.
I think before we judge we should ask:
1. What we would do if our 14 YO son behaved this way? Would we go as far as taking him to the police?
2. What we would expect to happen to ourselves if we behaved this way? Expulsion from house? Punishment? Ridicule? Detention center?
I don’t think the Duggar reaction was out of line. And I think the female victims suffer worse harm from the disclosure than from the secret.
I agree. And the story needs to be reported. But CNN has become obsessed with it. Maybe partially a coincidence, but for days on end almost every time I switched to CNN and on every news or talk show and also Nancy Grace yesterday, they were discussing and agonizing over the Duggars. Not once did I happen on a story about other contemporary pedophiles such as Epstein and the many illegal aliens committing worse crimes.

Josh Duggar joking about incest when he’s actually allowed to chaperone the date of his sister that he had previously molested.
So much for remorse.
I don't know that Josh Duggar hasn't abused children as an adult, but I don't know that he has, either. I'm not going to condemn someone for things no is even alleging (more than hypothetically) he has done.

Well, tune in to FoxNews Channel’s Megyn Kelly’s show tonight and listen to the Duggar daughters. I bet 100% of them have “grown out of it” and are well-adjusted, admirable, forgiving young ladies. What they likely have NOT “outgrown” is the current jihad against their family. But you don’t want to hear that, do you?
Double. Standards.
I believe these offenses were done surreptitiously and most of the molestation is being done by the antichristian media. I used to be a teacher and when the “good touch, bad touch” people came in, the whole school turned their parents in. ala Wahatchie WA and the older day care couple from California. If you ever changed a diaper you were a pervert. Meanwhile liberal schools systems systematically molest the minds of our children with their homosexual advocacy curriculums. Liberals are somehow obsessed with sex and want to paint all Bible believing Christians as sex offenders.
